CÉLINE: I've been such a fan of yours since I was a teenager. I saw you one time singing in bare feet. It was the Soap Kills [Lebanese band fronted by Hamdan] era, and it was in Beirut. I remember my mind being blown. Your music blends the traditional and the contemporary. How do you see this as a form of political resistance in a world that tries to flatten Arab identity?
